      VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function · 6be5ceb0
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
      vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
      required VM locking.
      
      This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
      duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c.  But that way we don't have
      to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.
      
      Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
      modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead.  We're actually
      very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
      use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

      smp: introduce a generic on_each_cpu_mask() function · 3fc498f1
      Gilad Ben-Yossef 提交于
      We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems
      such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task:
      cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter.
      Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs
      for various needs.  These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided
      altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific
      CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system.
      
      This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic
      Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying
      to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls
      are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group
      of CPUs.  The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the
      right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is
      even worth dealing with at all.  Based on the feedback from this patch set
      I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code
      paths.
      
      This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond()
      infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific
      versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI
      invocation to per CPU group invocations.
      
      Core kernel:
      
      on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask,
      which may or may not include the local processor.
      
      You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
      hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler.
      
      arch/arm:
      
      Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one:
      
      1. It has the mask as first parameter
      2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled,
         but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
         with interrupts disabled anyway.
      
      arch/tile:
      
      The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version
      also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case
      
      This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
      with interrupts disabled.

      [PATCH v3] ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC syscalls · 48b25c43
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      When using the "compat" APIs, architectures will generally want to
      be able to make direct syscalls to msgsnd(), shmctl(), etc., and
      in the kernel we would want them to be handled directly by
      compat_sys_xxx() functions, as is true for other compat syscalls.
      
      However, for historical reasons, several of the existing compat IPC
      syscalls do not do this.  semctl() expects a pointer to the fourth
      argument, instead of the fourth argument itself.  msgsnd(), msgrcv()
      and shmat() expect arguments in different order.
      
      This change adds an ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option that can be
      set to preserve this behavior for ports that use it (x86, sparc, powerpc,
      s390, and mips).  No actual semantics are changed for those architectures,
      and there is only a minimal amount of code refactoring in ipc/compat.c.
      
      Newer architectures like tile (and perhaps future architectures such
      as arm64 and unicore64) should not select this option, and thus can
      avoid having any IPC-specific code at all in their architecture-specific
      compat layer.  In the same vein, if this option is not selected, IPC_64
      mode is assumed, since that's what the <asm-generic> headers expect.
      
      The workaround code in "tile" for msgsnd() and msgrcv() is removed
      with this change; it also fixes the bug that shmat() and semctl() were
      not being properly handled.

      tile: Use set_current_blocked() and block_sigmask() · ad092338
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      As described in e6fa16ab ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
      retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
      incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block
      is pending in the shared queue.
      
      Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0
      ("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
      which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
      successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate
      code across architectures. In the past some architectures got this
      code wrong, so using this helper function should stop that from
      happening again.

      cpu: convert 'cpu' and 'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem · 8a25a2fd

      After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the
      sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel.
      
      Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure
      from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

      nohz: Remove tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() / tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu() · 1268fbc7

      needlessly process any RCU job.
      
      Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
      have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple

      nohz: Allow rcu extended quiescent state handling seperately from tick stop · 2bbb6817
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
      mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
      true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
      the tick is stopped.
      
      To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
      tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().
      
      If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
      tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
      must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
      need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().
      
      Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
      tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:
      
      - rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
      to sleep.
      - rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
      up.

      nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logic · 280f0677
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
      the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
      places:
      
      - From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
      - From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
      idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
      case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
      action.
      
      There are only few minor differences between both that
      are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
      cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
      that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
      interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
      quiescent state from idle loop entry only.
      
      Split this function into:
      
      - tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
      dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
      extended quiescent state.
      
      - tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
      when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).
      
      To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
      into tick_nohz_idle_exit().
      
      This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
      for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
      dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
      further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
      loop.

      arch/tile: factor out <arch/opcode.h> header · eb7c792d
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The kernel code was using some <asm> headers that included a mix
      of hardware-specific information (typically found in Tilera <arch>
      headers) and structures, enums, and function declarations supporting
      the disassembly function of the tile-desc.c sources.
      
      This change refactors that code so that a hardware-specific, but
      OS- and application-agnostic header, is created: <arch/opcode.h>.
      This header is then exported to userspace along with the other
      <arch> headers and can be used to build userspace code; in particular,
      it is used by glibc as part of implementing the backtrace() function.
      
      The new header, together with a header that specifically describes
      the disassembly code (<asm/tile-desc.h> with _32 and _64 variants),
      replaces the old <asm/opcode-tile*.h> and <asm/opcode_constants*.h>
      headers.
      
      As part of this change, we are also renaming the 32-bit constants
      from TILE_xxx to TILEPRO_xxx to better reflect the fact that they
      are specific to the TILEPro architecture, and not to TILE-Gx
      and any successor "tile" architecture chips.
